Biomathematics, B.S. _______________________<br />
Major Code: 7078 Degree Awarded: Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Science<br />
Age Restriction: N Admission status: undergraduate<br />
Delivery Mode/s: classroom only Location/s: main campus<br />
Mathematical biology (biomathematics) is a highly interdisciplinary<br />
program at the intersection <strong>of</strong> mathematics, biology and computer<br />
science. The program is <strong>of</strong>fered through collaboration between<br />
the mathematics and biology departments. Primarily during the<br />
freshman and sophomore years biomathematics majors complete<br />
core courses, then specialize during the junior and senior years.<br />
Specialization is based on interest in computer science, mathematics<br />
or biology, while retaining interdisciplinary training.<br />
The interdisciplinary nature <strong>of</strong> the program enables undergraduates<br />
who are interested in combining mathematics, computer science<br />
and biology to be more competitive for graduate programs and<br />
careers in bioinformatics, biostatistics, biomedical engineering,<br />
biomathematics or medicine.<br />
Degree Requirements<br />
Candidates for the Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Science in Biomathematics must<br />
complete the minimum course requirements as outlined in the following<br />
